THE PHILOSOPHY OF BEDsTEADs.

Experiments Made by Scientist-The
 Atmosphere of the Bedroom.
 Primitive and Oriental people lie on the ground or on a carpet, bed, or mattress which is laid on the ground. Modern western civilization is not satisfied with this; it demands bedsteads, with legs that shall raise the sleeper well above the floor level. Is any sound scientific justi- fication of this latter practice discover able? l think there is, and that my ex- planation will prove that the question is not so frivolous as it may at first sight appear.
 A very interesting paper was read be- fore the Society of Arts on March 23 by Dr. Percy F. Frankland, in which, among other matters, he described experiments made by himself and others, proving that microbia, pathogenic and otherwise, do not remain suspended in still air; they fall much more freely than might be sup posed from what is known concerning in lection by poison germs floating in the air. Hesse's experiments show this clearly. Koch's method of testing for the existence of microbia in the air was to expose dishes or strips of glass con- taining gelatinous solid films. On these the microbia fall and find abundant nutri- ment, and multiply accordingly, forming colonies that may be counted, and may be examined with the microscope.
 But this only indicates the numbers falling on given area, not the numbers contained in given measure of air. To determine these, Hesse used tubes about three feet long and one and one-half inches diameter, internally coated with the sterile nutritious gelatlne peptone. A measured quantity of air was drawn slowly through the tubes, when it was discovered that the colonies were all at the bottom of the tube, and not evenly distributed even over the bottom, but were more or less crowded together at the end where the air entered. and more and more sparsely distributed further in ward until the latter half of the tube was almost entirely free. The microbia had all fallen down in the course of the short journey of the air The mold colonies spread all along the tube, showing that fungus germs float in the air, while bac- teria fall
 Other experiments show that in an or dinary apartment the questionable or- ganisms are more and more abundant, descending from ceiling to floor. There fore the raising of our beds well above the level of the floor places us in better atmosphere, so far as these microbia are concerned, than if we slept as in the east. This is especially the case if the air of the room is still, as is usually the case in the bedrooms of these attitudes. In rooms of the old oriental pattern, without window glass, the case is somewhat different II may be supposed that, carbonic acid being heavier than air, there is much more near the floor than little higher. Owing to the diffusibilfty of the gas this, however, is not the case in any measur- able degree. The carbonic acid we ex- pire gets an upward start on leaving our lungs; the mixture expired is, except in hot weather, specifically lighter than that which we inspire on account of its higher temperature.

How Cleopatra Killed Herself

Dr. Viaud Grand Marias, in curious pamphlet on the Egyptian queen, dis cusses at some length her experiments on slaves, prisoners, and persons condemned to death. Quoting from Plutarch, he shows how she acquired the certitude that the bite of the asp effected a calm and painless death. But here the worthy doctors reasoning begins. How, he asks, did the asp escape and how did the two attendants of the queen die? Nobody saw the serpent afterward, and we have the spectacle of closed room, of two women inanimate, and of one languidly raising her head to answer with dying feebleness the messengers of Cesar. All this, according to the doc tor, shows that charcoal poisoning had been resorted to; for Cleopatra, who was clever woman, had studied every possible means of bringing about death. M. Maspero, the well known Egyptolo- gist, to whom the recent researches of which Baron Larrey made fun have been communicated, doubts the exist ence of the great Nile queen, as there are no monuments or hieroglyphs relating to her.-London Telegraph.

Patrons of A Public Library.

The vast number of readers never come to the library with the idea of get ting any but one book. If that is not Gin, they are in a quandary, and they always appeal to one of the librarians to ''get me something good" :" Any one who knows the different tastes in books can imagine what task this is for there isn't any possible way of telling by wis itor's physiognomy what his particular taste in literature may be. It would ap- pear that most people have no settled plan of reading. They take up whatever book happens to fall in their way, and read it. It doesn't matter what it is. The moFe intelligent patrons keep the call slips, and have always special list of books, which they hand to the librarian, and he can go through it quietly and determine which are on hand. A position behind the desk at the library is one in which there are splendid opportunities for the study of human nature.-Library Attendant in Globe Democrat.

GROWING LIVESTOCK.
An Inborn Liking OF the Calling Necessary
to Its Success.

An Inborn Liking OF the Calling Necessary
to Its Success.
Many men take up an avocation for
which they are lily adapted and fail to-
tally or partially in their undertaking;
and is it not safe to say that by far the
smallest number take up the business
for which they are especially. by natur-
al talent and taste. fitted? An instinct
i've liking for livestock is shown by
the young person, simply because this
tendency is born in him or her, as the
case may be. No education can instill
this into the mind so that taste will
be developed there equal to the Unborn
liking-the innate feeling that there
are pecuiiarities in domestic animals
that the highest minds can admire.
This Unborn liking. united to the requis-
tie talent for guiding breeding opera
tons, forms the genius for growing
improved domestic animals, and there
can be no genius worth the name,
without the two tendencies are con-
Joined in the one individual.
In rearing, handling and driving
horses, no man can succeed fully unless
he likes the horse, is in full sympathy
with him. and the horse likewise in
full sympathy with the master. There
are men who seem to have natural
liking for horses, not in general terms,
but more properly for particular classes
of horses; one man admiring .

The man who shows a genius fol

growing livestock. while some men
